A seki sharing thread

There was a seki in a game I posted in the meme thread

There’s a seki sequence in the bottom left starting with the blue move. Of course there is massive aji starting with k14, but White doesn’t need it to win, and it was a 7 stone handicap game.

Hane, Black takes the one stone and gets gently squeezed

and then descending to make a seki, and it’s enough to win, rather than having to capture the two stones at j14 or potentially the seven ones at D8.
